Welcome to Regional Matters

Welcome to Regional Matters!

In this new web series, we will focus on topics and data related to urban and regional economic issues, particularly those that are important to areas within the Fifth Federal Reserve District. Content will primarily be posted by regional economists and analysts in the Regional Economics group using material developed for other purposes such as presentations and internal reports. Many posts will focus on the exploration of a new or interesting data series. Other reports and analyses from the Regional group are also published on the website, such as economic indicators, surveys of business activity, and presentations on the national and regional economies.

Regional Matters will be updated several times a month.
